Chemical Structure

2-Amino-4H-imidazole-4-sulfonic acid CAS 857807-74-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Amino-4H-imidazole-4-sulfonic acid is closely related to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Amino-4H-imidazole-4-sulfonic acid (CAS 857807-74-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C3H5N3O3S and a molecular weight of 163.16 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Amino-4H-imidazole-4-sulfonic acid (C3H5N3O3S) is characterized by an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
